Our mission is to encourage children to make healthy choices, but also giving them the opportunities to experience a wide variety of different cuisines.
Stefania Cavaliere – Senior Catering Manager – All academies
I started working with STEP Academy Trust in 2013 as a Kitchen Assistant. During this time, I have been fortunate to have been able to recognise my potential and develop my passion for cooking and catering.
My current role is to ensure that the standards throughout the academies represent a friendly and professional dining experience; from our staff as well as the quality of our selected produce in order to deliver a balanced and healthy meal.
Jo Sparks – Area Catering Manager
I have worked in catering since 2006. I started to work for STEP Catering in 2012, working within one of our kitchens at Gonville Academy.
In September 2020 I moved into the role of Area Catering Manager overseeing ten of our South London academies and our six STEP Academies in East Sussex. My role involves training the Associate Catering Managers to ensure the smooth running of the kitchens and lunchtime service.
I am passionate and committed to ensure that STEP provides a healthy, tasty meal for all our pupils.
Teresa May – Associate Catering Manager
I have worked in catering for over 20 years and with STEP since 2018 as a Cook at Hawkes Farm Academy in East Sussex.
In 2021 I started my new role as Associate Catering Manager where I help to manage the day to day running of the kitchens with support from our Area Manager.
I have watched STEP East Sussex grow and improve the local community and I couldn’t be prouder to work for the Trust.
